Inconsiderate drivers and tractor operators, bad mix...

^^^^^
They look like Tonkas in that last shot... Do they still make Tonkas, or does this comment belong in the "Getting old" thread?

 

[ovrszd]

I don't know if they still make Tonka toys or not.

Here's a better Tonka shot.

Trust me I know farmers don稚 make the rules but for a group of people who hates more regulation they sure do a bad job of self regulation.

So in your arguments what is people depend on you for cheap food so you have to cut corners or people want expensive organic foods you are safe? Sure food is important but I got news for you people have been replacing farmers for thousands of years so don稚 get to high and mighty everyone has a job to do and yours isn稚 any more or less important that the 300 million that keep this country moving.

Listen, I dont think Im high and mighty. I think Im a real humble, easy going person who obeys the law and is an excellent steward of the land I farm. Im simply trying to make the point that when a state makes a law, and a farmer complies with the law, like a farmer driving a tractor with duals on a 2 lane road, DONT BLAME THE FARMER. Its so simple, yet you persist in demonizing someone for obeying the law of the road. :laughing:
Don’t like it? Vote for someone who wants all farm equipment to be 102 wide, stand on a street corner with a sign protesting over width AG equipment, but dont COMPLAIN about the farmer who is in compliance with the LAW. Go complain to the state.

You go ahead and try to replace Farmers food with fake processed crap from China.
Maybe some junk grown in a Petri dish in a lab. :laughing:

There's an idea. Maybe protest by not eating anything produced by farmers?

Now if they could just do the same for bicyclists.

Yes yes yes

There is almost always at least two sides to every story about bad drivers and driving habits etc...
When it comes to jerks and a$$holes etc...there are no occupations that are an exception to the percentages of said jerks and a$$holes...

I didn't bother reading the majority of the thread...but did anyone mention the number of folks that call themselves "farmers" who other than maybe a kitchen garden only grow grass and cut it for hay ONLY to keep their agriculture tax classification...they want to own large tracts but cut hay to keep from having to pay the premium in taxes for owning said tracts...?

But what happens to the hay they produce?

But what happens to the hay they produce?

That's beside the point...actually it's moot...
Depending on the market it could just rot...in other scenarios it could adversely effect the market and hurt the smaller hay farmers that actually need the income to survive...

There are many large land owners that ONLY produce hay to save on property taxes...they don't need the income and many just lease the land to actual farmers that do all the work...it's a big scam...they like to call themselves "farmers" but in reality they are just cheating the system via technicalities and loopholes...
